‘We will hunt you’, says Trump as US strikes another suspected drug boat from Venezuela, killing 3

The fresh attack comes amid spiralling tensions in the Caribbean as a large US naval build-up sparks speculation that Washington may be seeking regime change in Caracas

The US has struck another boat in international waters on suspicion of “transporting illegal narcotics” from Venezuela, killing three people, President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post.

“This morning, on my Orders, US Military Forces conducted a SECOND Kinetic Strike against positively identified, extraordinarily violent drug trafficking cartels and narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility,” he said.

Trump claimed that the illegal narcotics, which he dubbed “a deadly weapon poisoning Americans”, were on their way to the US.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

Last month, the US military conducted an attack on a boat, targeting the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang and killing 11 people. The fresh attack also comes amid spiralling tensions in the Caribbean as a large US naval build-up sparks speculation that Washington may be seeking regime change in Caracas.
